Hey guys

My car is at the workshop being complied (R33) and i was under the impression that for your approx $3k for compliance, you get the car complied and thats it.

Someone else is telling me that you also get a RWC and 1 year registration included.

thats the first ive ever heard of it....anyone able to clear this up?

thanks

its a definite no as i had always thought. never heard of rego or RWC having anything to do with compliance

the car should be in a RWC state or very close to it after being complied, and rego will be the normal cost + stamp duty etc

Yup, all compliance is, is the "right" to get the car rego'ed. The RAWS scheme means that it is recognised in all states.

If the Car fails the RWC after leaving the compliance shop, then the shop could possibly

lose their RAWS licence (assuming you have'nt touched the car), as compliance means that the car "complies" with all Australian ADRs (Design rules), which , by implication, means that it is roadworthy.

However, if you've added bigger wheels, exhaust, etc... after compliance, but BEFORE the roadworthy, then there is no guarantee it will pass. Do these things AFTER you've got your rego.

I thought there was always quite a big difference between compliance and RWC.

Compliance modifies the things on your car so that it suits the adr's.. so side intrusion bars, 'unleaded fuel only' sticker, fuel ristrictor, child restraints ect ect...

whereas roadworthies are more things like, rotor and pad thickness, chips or scratches on the windscreens, tyre wear.

I had 15yr compliance only, and I know that SEVS is stricter. But is it the resposonsibility of the compliancer to make sure that the breaks and tyres and windscreen are fine too??

VicRoads will require a RWC along with the engineers certificate (VASS). It might be that the compliancer also provides the RWC, but I'd be surprised if you got a years rego also paid (not saying it's not possible tho....best talk to your compliancer about what's included in their fee).

complience only covers getting the car complied although i know of a few workshop who comply and also provide the roadworthy for the car! no rego though

    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
